On an abstract level, it's pretty badass. I have noticed a significant difference in the quality of my sleep by utilizing the different features on the alarm clock.

The problem is getting the thing to actually work.

The button combinations are far from intuitive; it took me awhile to get it all figured out when I first bought it and I am someone who designs and builds technology as a career. Once I got it figured it out, I was quite happy with it for about 2 months.

Then, the clock began to randomly reset itself when I was sleeping, even with batteries inside; no other device in my house would show evidence of a power outage when this occurred. This problem, at some point, escalated to randomly reseting when I would turn on the sleep sounds and attempt to change it to a different sound. Currently, about once every 3 or 4 nights, I have to reprogram the time and alarm due to a reset which is far from endearing.

I imagine I will get another month of usage out of it before my frustration drives me to chuck it across the room.

It does indeed shut off when you shake it. That comes in darn handy to a person who does not wake up well. It has the cool feature of being able to charge your phone from the built in USB. The radio sounds pretty darn good for the size and price point of the clock and it has variable brightness which is nice to.

Bad points.. I have had it a few months and I still can't figure out how to change the wake up sound. That sort of sucks. I really wanted the rooster sound for my alarm so I could piss off my wife. The only other mildly annoying flaw is the switches are small and not well marked. If you wake up before the alarm it's difficult to find the right switch to turn the alarm off.

This product should have been so much better. It looks great with an awesome time display and usb to charge a phone. However, it's too complicated to set the alarm without studying the manual, the speaker sucks and no bluetooth (Isn't G-Project a speaker company?), and the sleep sounds are pathetic and tinny. Lastly, one of the buttons on top has no tactile feel when pressing it. This thing is now sitting in my closet collecting dust.

It had all the features I liked for an alarm clock. Unfortunately, I hadn't read all the reviews on this clock. First, Alarm #1 didn't work at all to set time. It's suppose to flash when moved to Set. Alarm #2 worked but not #1. Second, within 5 mins of trying to set it the whole thing turns off even when plugged in the wall. After all this happened, I found that other reviewers on Amazon had the same problem... I'm returning it right away.

I love this alarm clock so much I bought more as gifts for friends and family. It has "white noise" settings, which I used to have a separate machine for sleeping at night. It also allows you to dim the read out very low, and I like a dark room at night so this is a nice feature as well. The numbers are still legible at the low setting, even across the room. Another aspect I enjoy is that it can be battery powered or plugged in, and it is very rugged so it travels well. The fact that you can just shake it to turn it off is pretty cool too!

I really wanted to like this clock, the different alarm types are really cool and I love the way this clock looks, but a segment on one of the digits died (as in now the zero looks like an upper case "U") about one month after the 90 day warranty expired. I do not use the shake function to turn off the alarm either so physical wear or trauma is not the cause. I suppose the missing segment is not a crippling defect as the other clock functions still work, but I get a flash of irritation every time I notice it and I now kind of assume it's a matter of time before something else breaks since it only took a few months for the first thing to go wrong.

Original setup was a small challenge, as the instruction manual is a bit vague, but once you get the hang of setting the thing up it is great.

Suggestions to the manufacturer...you have a lot of input buttons and a USB port...would love to have a way to customize the clock functions (shake to snooze instead of shake to wake, for example.)

UPDATE: same issues as others have had. Clock randomly resets, flashing 12:00 like there has been a power outage, and now will not accept a new time. Just keeps flashing, taunting me. I really wanted to like it, but the clock is junk.

I am using this mainly as a radio in my bathroom. It has 10 presets for stations, but setting them is a bit challenging. There is a place in the back for 4 AAA batteries, which presumably maintain presets in case of a power outage. However, even with a brief outage of a few seconds all settings were lost including time and preset radio stations. This I found to be frustrating. otherwise, it is a good little radio.
